A series of disturbing incidents surrounding the movement of Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) chief Vijay during his recent political meeting at Thanjavur has raised serious concerns about the conduct of his supporters and the leadership signals being sent by the actor-turned-politician.
Vijay keeps constantly referring to the DMK as the ‘Theeyasakthi‘ or evil force and calls himself the ‘Thooyasakthi’ or pure force, but it turns out that TVK is the real Theeyasakthi given the reckless behaviour of Vijay’s fans turned cadre and the gleeful reactions of the leader himself.
Across multiple locations during his visit for party meetings in central Tamil Nadu, large groups of TVK supporters were seen engaging in reckless and dangerous behaviour – climbing vehicles, blocking toll plazas, mobbing convoys and racing motorcycles along highways in attempts to get closer to Vijay.
Instead of discouraging such conduct, Vijay’s response in several instances appeared to be one of indulgence, smiling and waving at supporters even when they performed risky stunts around his moving vehicle.
Supporter Climbs Campaign Vehicle for Selfie
In one instance, a fan was seen climbing onto Vijay’s moving campaign vehicle and positioning himself to take a selfie. The man clung to the SUV while the convoy continued moving through a crowded road.
Vijay, who was visible inside the vehicle, appeared to notice the supporter but responded by smiling and waving rather than signalling security personnel to intervene or stop the vehicle. The gesture was interpreted by many observers as tacit encouragement of dangerous fan behaviour.

Highway Accidents as Supporters Chase Convoy
The most serious consequences of the chaotic mobilisation emerged on a highway near Thanjavur, where groups of supporters riding motorcycles attempted to follow and keep pace with Vijay’s convoy.
The uncontrolled motorcade reportedly led to multiple collisions as motorcycles sped along the highway in dense clusters. Several riders lost control, resulting in a pile-up involving numerous bikes.
Visuals from the aftermath showed injured youths lying on the road while bystanders attempted to assist them. Ambulances were later deployed to the scene to transport the injured to hospitals, indicating the seriousness of the accidents.
Motorcycles were seen scattered across the road, some trapped between vehicles in the convoy as supporters struggled to move through the congested highway.

Toll Plaza Mobbed by Supporters
In another incident during the same visit, Vijay’s convoy struggled to pass through a toll plaza after hundreds of supporters surrounded the vehicles, blocking traffic and overrunning the area.
The crowd occupied the entire space around the toll structures, leaving virtually no room for movement. Vehicles attempting to pass through the checkpoint were boxed in by the mass of supporters waving TVK flags and shouting slogans.
Some individuals were even seen climbing public structures and ladders near the toll booth in an attempt to gain a better view of Vijay’s convoy. The gathering brought regular traffic movement at the location to a near standstill.
The scale of the crowd and the lack of visible crowd control raised concerns about how emergency vehicles or public transport could have moved through the area during the disruption.
A Pattern of Dangerous Devotion
The incidents have highlighted a growing pattern of hazardous behaviour among sections of TVK supporters, many of whom appear willing to take extreme risks in attempts to get close to Vijay.
From climbing vehicles and public structures to chasing convoys on highways, the behaviour has repeatedly disrupted traffic and created potential threats to public safety.
The problem is compounded by Vijay’s reactions during such moments. Rather than issuing firm warnings or halting the convoy when dangerous situations arise, he has often appeared relaxed and appreciative of the crowd’s enthusiasm.
When such risky actions are met with smiles, waves, or acknowledgment from the leader at the centre of the spectacle, it sends a powerful message to supporters that extreme displays of devotion will be rewarded with attention.
Public Safety Concerns Grow
The repeated incidents of convoy mobbing, toll plaza disruptions and highway accidents have triggered wider questions about whether adequate crowd management and security measures are in place during TVK political events.
Large political gatherings in Tamil Nadu have historically required strict coordination between organisers and law enforcement to ensure that traffic movement and public safety are not compromised.
In the case of Vijay’s recent tour, however, the combination of massive crowds and uncontrolled supporter behaviour has repeatedly pushed situations toward chaos.
